Good sound quality

Pros: - Good sound quality - Nice packaging - Nice amount of cables etc. - Look amazing Cons: - Plastic creaking sound when moving head or the cups - Ear pads were too small so had to buy bigger replacements online - More expensive at JB than a few other stores I would adore these IF the creaking...

I have changed the perception of these headphones quite dramatically during the months I had them so I write a whole new review. The first thing I have to point out is that these headphones require a long recording time, at least 200 hours.

Audio Technica ATH-MSR7 review: The lowest-priced (true) high-resolution headphone

Audio-Technica's ATH-M50 and subsequent ATH-M50x have long been among the best sounding headphones for the money with a price tag of around $150 online. And while the company has plenty of other headphones in its line, it hasn't had a killer step-up model to go up against popular "premium" closed-back over-ear headphones in the $250-$300 range.

The Audio-Technica ATH-MSR7 is a great-sounding headphone with the one caveat that its sonic detail is so impressive that it brings out both the best and worst in any given source material.

The Audio Technica ATH-MSR7 offers impressive audio quality; is sturdily built; should fit most people comfortably; and comes with three cables; including one that has an inline remote/microphone for cell-phone use.

A little heavy; not quite as comfortable as some competing models'; abundance of clarity reveals harshness or distortion in recordings.
